I also very much dislike Ubuntu/Debian, and I very much liked CentOS.
My favorite is Ubuntu. I run Kubuntu on my desktop and only Ubuntu on
my VMs.
I am a fan of how easy it was to configure a virtual host on CentOS.
I was sad when it was "killed". There are the "Bug-For-Bug" compatible
clones like AlmaLinux or RockyLinux ... I prefer to keep it original.
Are you aware that RedHat proper is free to use?
Did not know that.
Go to redhat.com [1] and create a free account, then go to
developer.redhat.com [2] and you can get your free developer account.
I think it's like 20 free systems, which I find to be plenty.
Thanks for the heads-up.
I run my entire homelab stack on RHEL proper.
I'm all in with Ubuntu.
Started my Linux journey with RedHat. Shortly thereafter I converted to
Debian. I was a member of the Tucson Free Unix Group and they were all
in for Debian.
I used CentOS because I had a client that was using it. As I recall
CentOS 5 was out for a long time. Then there was 6 and then it died.
Am I correct?

I'm not sure you're understanding what I meant when I said

I'm referring to SSH Keys, so you can quickly authenticate to any

I understand. I appreciate you suggesting that. I have been aware
of
SSH Keys for a long time. Never have used one.
I'm a PHP developer. I first came to know about Linux in around
1998.
In the beginning it was this really cool counter culture thing.
I'm working a project that might take another year. I'll talk about
it
then. It does require things be as simple as possible. Keep It
Simple
Stupid (KISS).
I do not like using those utilities that mimic Linux that are used
by
some for development. I've tried them and find creating VMs on
VirtualBox is far better. This requires some LAMP skills. That is
my
niche. I liked CentOS much better because the virtual host docroot
was
off the user's home directory. It was super easy to configure. Now
with Ubuntu we have to use PHP-FPM so the ssh user is the docroot
owner.
Another layer of complexity. I have learned enough to get PHP-FPM
to
work... Yikes.
PHP has gotten more complex as well. Things like Composer, Name
Spaces,
Dependency Injection... etc.
I know all the fancy PHP developers are looking at me like I am
crazy,
and maybe I am. I don't think I am. I truly want to question what
they
are doing.
I spent a decade on PHP5. Served me well.
Several things have shaped my thought on technology.
Around 1996 I experienced four things:
1) I ran into a business owner who told me he had written a Basic
app to
run his business.
2) I went into a warehouse that was run on a Commodore 64.
3) Met a guy that was working on a daycare management system that
was
based on the Commodore 64.
4) I was introduced to dBaseII.
I am trying to get back to that. We need to create technology that
a
business owner and that middle school kid can use and do something
worthwhile.
So that is my story and I'm sticking to it!!
Keith
Let me know if you have any questions.

Since this is only local to my private network, I am going to
start
over. I am using virtual box and every time I upgrade I clone
the
last
successful configuration. So in the case of a failed issue I can
start
over by deleting the current VM and clone the last successful VM
and
start over.
I'm also going to uninstall VSC since it has configurations going
back
several years. I have high hopes for VSC....
As for using key-authentication this is all local on a private
network
and my domains are all non-routable .internal.
I use the hosts files for DNS.
Wish me luck!! I may return.

Hi Alexander!!
Thank you for your feedback.

I use Visual Studio Code a ton. Whenever I've had an issue with
SSH on
code it's usually due to an issue in the SSHD Config.
Check the "output" tab in VSC, as it'll have helpful output
there.
Typically, in the SSHD Config file you'll need:
AllowAgentForwarding yes
AllowTcpForwarding yes
TCPKeepAlive yes
I'll check into this.
I would also *HIGHLY* suggest using key-authentication, just in
general -- but most especially when using VSC with Remote SSH.
This is only local so I like to keep things simple.

Hi,
I am having difficulty connecting remote using Visual Studio
Code.
Desktop is running Kubuntu 24.04lts
Remote is a laptop running Win10 with VirtualBox installed and
multiple
Ubuntu 24.04lts LAMP servers configured. Only one is running.
I have 3 users
1) is the user installed during the Linux install. It has
Sudo
privileges.
2) A user that has SSH access that I can SSH into via the
konsole on
Kubuntu. This is going to be a PHP-FPM virtual host owner.
3) A user that has SSH access that I can SSH into via the
konsole on
Kubuntu. This is going to be a PHP-FPM virtual host owner.
I can SSH into the box remotely using SSH via the konsole on
Kubuntu.
Users number 2 and three do not have sudo.
I can access the virtual hosts via FileZilla using user 2 and
3.
I can remote (VSC) into the VM using my sudo user that does
not
own
any
vhosts.
I will be installing and configuring PHP-FPM so my virtual
hosts
will be
owned by a SSH user so I can do programming in real time /
remote.
AI gave me a list of things to do and test which I did, such
as
- Set /etc/ssh/sshd_config to PasswordAuthentication yes.
Local
and
remote are set to PasswordAuthentication yes
- sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog - nothing looks like it has
anything
to
do with VSC.
- ssh -vvv lamp@ip-address
which returns a bunch of stuff and then asks me for the
password
for
lamp@ip-address then connects the konsole w/o an issue:
